Best Management Practices
CDFA and the National Ornamental Research Site at Dominican University of CA (NORS-DUC) have developed a BMP manual for ornamental and native plant nurseries which encourages and guides the implementation of BMPs in their plant production systems. Implementing BMPs provides nurseries with a higher level of confidence that nursery operations are reducing the introduction and spread of diseases and pests.
Mission
To protect consumers, agriculture, and the environment from losses due to the introduction and spread of pathogens and pests through the nursery trade.
Maintain a close working relationship with the National Ornamental Research Site at Dominican University (NORS-DUC) and the CDFA Plant Health Diagnostic Center (PPDC) in order to validate Best Management Practices (BMPs).
